Braised Lamb Chops French Onion Style - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 lamb chops
3 carrots, chopped in half inch circles
1 large onion, chopped in chunks
1 liter French onion soup, in powder form (we won't be making 1L of soup, just the entire sachet with 2 cups of water, I needed to state a size)
2 cups boiling water
1 (420 g) can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter

Preparation

Salt and pepper the lamb chops and brown in butter in a large frying pan.
Remove chops from pan and cook the onion in the lamb drippings for 5minutes, add the carrot chunks.
Mix the french onion soup powder with the cups of boiling water and add to the onion and carrots in the frying pan, simmer for 10minutes.
While the soup mixture is simmering, in a bowl put the diced tomatoes, garlic, and soy sauce, mix well.
Add the tomato mixture to the frying pan and combine well.
Once combined, re-add the lamb chops to the pan, coat well with the mixture and bring to the boil - When boiling, lower to a simmer and cover.
Simmer covered for an hour and a half to 2 hours or til fork-tender.
Serve over mashed potatoes :-).
